Dan Hurley was far from being delighted with the officer during the loss of 77-75 Uconn against Florida in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday, to the point where he warned Baylor, a team in a similar situation in the face of a seeder n ° 1.
The Huskies of Hurley finished their chances of three tours on Sunday afternoon after having failed the Gators, the seeded n ° 1 in the western region of the marship of Mars.
Instead, they left the disappointed field, and Hurley did not chop her words for the Baylor Bears who are waiting to take the Duke Blue Devils, another seeded n ° 1.

“I hope they are not F – You like them to have us. I hope they don’t do that to you, Baylor,” was heard Hurley shouting in the tunnel.
Hurley’s intensity and nature of Hurley are one of his business cards, and he never comes without explanation.

He spoke with journalists after the difficult loss about the officer, in particular a non-appeal against one of his players, Alex Karaban, after a Gators player clearly established contact with him during the attempted shooting at the end of the match.
At the time, Uconn was standing, 61-59, with just over three minutes to play.
“A part of (emotion) is probably only the season, how tumultuous the season has been,” started Hurley via USA Today. “The team fought and fought just to qualify for the tournament, then how the game went, increasing three to the last media (dead time), we have two errors of frank rebounds.
“With the previous teams, we had problems like that, but these matches that we were 15-18, so they were not as amplified. And obviously, the Karaban Drive on the basic line, you know, there was a lot of contact there and we were a I think at that time or two potentially. I thought it was a big game too.”

Looking in the box score, the Florida was called to less faults than Uconn (17 to 24), although they had problems with the free throw line, only making 22 of the 34 shots. The Huskies missed three of their 22 attempts.
“I think that when we will come back and watch this film on the flight today, I think it will crush these free rebound games again, looking at Karaban’s finish on the basic line without appeal on this subject,” admitted Hurley.
As a seeded n ° 1, Florida is one of the favorites to do a national championship race, although there has always been a chance that they had to go through Uconn who, like Hurley, fought, fought to enter the tournament after a campaign from top to bottom.

The consecutive winners of the title almost succeeded in the upheaval, but they will return to Storr, Connecticut, in the hope of gathering for another potential race during the 2025-26 season.
